Jib's nemesis links to this brilliant column regarding the political fallout of Hurricane Katrina, written by, of all people, an Irish columnist at an Irish newspaper.

That's required reading, people. Oh, all right, here's a taste, just because I can't resist:

As the full horror of Hurricane Katrina sinks in, thousands of desperate columnists are asking if this is the end of George Bush's presidency.

The answer is almost certainly yes, provided that every copy of the US Constitution was destroyed in the storm.

Why are you still here? Go read the whole thing.
